The ADHD mind is active. Thoughts, ideas, possibilities come flying through at hyper-speed. These bombarding thoughts can become overwhelming. YOUR ENERGY IS DEPLETED. YOU’RE EXHAUSTED. You sit there staring at the blank screen or make excuses and push the task to the side, pretending that it doesn’t exist. YOU’RE FRUSTRATED AND OVERCOME WITH ANGER AND SADNESS, SO YOU ISOLATE AND WITHDRAW. It doesn’t have to be that way. ADHD Coaching will help you get through the frustration, speeding thoughts, and teach you how to work with your overactive mind.

Accomplish Your Goals

If you have ADHD, you know what happens when you start something. You’re enthusiastic, full of energy and exciting ideas but soon you fizzle out. Your enthusiasm fades and your energy is gone. You have a job to complete but you just can’t get your mojo going. Sometimes the task you face is boring, or sometimes you can’t concentrate because your emotions take your mind hostage. With ADHD Coaching, you become aware of the obstacles you face, and then you learn how to overcome them.

Improve Your Relationships

ADHD is tough on relationships. Your passion, compassion, and impulsive fun-loving spirit might be appealing at first; but if you’re not aware of the effect your ADHD has on your partner, these traits might cause you to become co-dependent, speak harshly, over-step boundaries, and make choices that could destroy your loving feelings and intimate connection.

ADHD Coaching will help you become aware of how your ADHD is harming your relationship and help you discover how to improve it. Working me with as your coach, I will guide you towards finding out how to get your ADHD work for you in a relationship.

Feel Better About Yourself

Low self-esteem is often associated with ADHD. You know you’re smart, but when you can’t comprehend the last paragraph you read, you don’t feel so smart. Forgetfulness, inability to hear what someone is saying to you, and drifting off into space; are traits of ADHD that might cause you to feel hidden shame. Guilt is not uncommon when you often mess up appointments, cancel plans, and say things you later regret. For the ADHDer; low self-esteem, shame, and guilt might cause you to miss out on achieving your dreams. At times, you don’t feel like you’re going to succeed. When you begin ADHD Coaching, you learn to separate your ADHD traits from character traits. There’s more to you than your ADHD.
